Megawatt-class fission power systems can provide the energy for key architecture building blocks, such as propellant production, growing food, and in-space manufacturing that are not easily provided by solar on the megawatt level.

Establishing permanence beyond low earth orbit will be greatly enabled by megawatt-class fission systems.

We can make basically any object you want out of refractory ceramics. Topologically optimized heat exchangers? High temperature extremely corrosion resistant components? Casting cores and molds? Precision turbine parts?

Solar panels have been the backbone for space power. But if you want a lot more power, fission becomes extremely compelling. It's lighter, it scales better, and it doesn't matter how far from the sun you are.

Fission power holds great promise for providing the 24/7 Megawatt-class power needed for humanity to live, work in orbit, and the lunar surface.

Bouncing UO2 particles around inside a hot furnace. This is how we coat 10s of micron thick layers of ceramics on our TRISO particles.

We want to travel further and faster, grow and expand, live longer and better. Energy is the ultimate constraint on our human ambitions. We are loosening that constraint with advanced nuclear reactors and fuels providing zero-carbon power and heat.

Megawatt-class fission power systems can provide the energy for key architecture building blocks, such as propellant production, growing food, and in-space manufacturing that are not easily provided by solar on the megawatt level.

We sort millions, and soon billions, of these sesame sized nuclear TRISO particles.
